7．Dear Susan，
I was excited when I received your letter and the English stamps．
Thank you for send me the English stamps．What beautiful these stamps are!I really liked them．I like stampcollecting very much．When I was in the age of 8，I started to collect stamps．So far，I collected nearly 1，000 Chinese stamps and more than 400 foreign stamps．I find stampcollecting interest and beneficial．Not only can I enjoy the beautiful designs of stamps，but also I can gain many knowledge from it．I am glad to know you also like collecting the stamps．I hope we shall often exchange the stamps of our two countries．I hope we'll be friend for ever．
                                                   Yours，
                                                    Li Hua．
8．Traveling without a map in different countries，I find out about different"styles"of directions every time I ask"How can I get to the post office？"
Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don't have name signs：in Japan，people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names．For example，the Japanese will say to travelers，"Go straight down to the corner．Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market．The post office is across from the bus stop．"
People in Los Angeles，the US，have no idea of distance on the map：they measure distance by time，not miles．"How far away is the post office？"you ask．"Oh，"they answer，"it's about five minutes from here．"You don't understand completely，"Yes，but how many miles away is it，please？"To this question you won't get an answer，because most probably they don't know it themselves．
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists seldom understand the Greek language．Instead，a Greek will often say，"Follow me．"Then he'll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office．
Sometimes a person doesn't know the answer to your question．What happens in the situation？A New Yorker might say，"Sorry，I have no idea．"But in Yucatan，Mexico，no one answers"I don't know．"People there believe that"I don't"is impolite．They usually give an answer，but often a wrong one．So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan!
However，one thing will help you everywhere in the world．It's body language．

25．Which of the following is probably an example of Japanese directions？B
A．"Go south two miles．Turn west and then go another mile．"
B．"Turn right at the hospital and go past a school．"
C．"The post office is about five minutes from here．"
D．"The post office is at Street Kamira．"
26．Why don't people in Los Angeles give directions in miles？C
A．They use landmarks in their directions instead of distance．
B．They prefer to lead you the way．
C．They often have no idea of distance measured by miles．
D．They prefer to use body language．
27．How do Greeks give directions？C
A．Using street names．
B．Using landmarks．
C．Leading people the way．

A．People in Yucatan always give right directions．
B．There are different ways to give directions in different parts of the world．
C．People in some places give directions in miles，while in other places in time．
D．A person's body language can help you understand directions．

7．El Nino，a Spanish term for"the Christ child"，was named by South American fishermen who noticed that the global weather pattern，which happens every two to seven years，reduced the amount of fishes caught around Christmas．El Nino sees warm water，collected over several years in the western Pacific，flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards weaken，or sometimes the other way round．
The weather effects，both good and bad，are felt in many places．Rich countries gain more from powerful Nino，on balance，than they lose．A study found that a strong Nino in 1997 helped American's economy grow by 15 billion，partly because of better agricultural harvests：farmers in the Midwest gained from extra rain．The total rise in agricultural incomes in rich countries is greater than the fall in poor ones．
But in Indonesia extremely dry forests are in flames．A multi-year drought （干旱）in south-east Brazil is becoming worse．Though heavy rains brought about by El Nino may relieve the drought in California，they are likely to cause surface flooding and other disasters．
The most recent powerful Nino，in 1997-98，killed around 21，000 people and caused damage worth  36．But such Ninos come with months of warning，and so much is known about how they happen that governments can prepare．According to the Overseas Development Institute （ODI），however，just 12% of disaster-relief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance，rather than recovery and rebuilding afterwards．This is despite evidence that a dollar spent on risk-reduction saves at least two on reconstruction．
Simple improvements to infrastructure （基础设施）can reduce the spread of disease．Better sewers （下水道）make it less likely that heavy rain is followed by an outbreak of the disease of bad stomach．Stronger bridges mean villages are less likely to be left without food and medicine after floods．According to a paper in 2011by Mr Hsiang and co-authors，civil conflict is related to El Nino's harmful effects-and the poorer the country，the stronger the link．Though the relationship may not be causal，helping divided communities to prepare for disasters would at least reduce the risk that those disasters are followed by killing and wounding people．Since the poorest are least likely to make up for their losses from disasters linked to El Nino，reducing ther losses needs to bethe priority．
61．What can we learn about El Nino in Paragraph 1？A
A．It sees the changes of water flow direction in the ocean．
B．It takes place almost every year all over the world．
C．It is named after a South American fisherman．
D．It forces fishermen to stop catching fish around Christmas．
62．What may El Ninos bring about to the countries affected？D
A．Poor countries suffer less from droughts economically．
BAgricultural harvests in rich coutries fall．
C．Droughts become more harmful than floods．
D．Rich countries'gains are greater than their losses．
